D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 18, r. 18-1314
Before issuing an initial or renewal commercial driver license or reissuing a commercial driver license with a change of classification, endorsement, or restriction, the Department shall check the driving record of the applicant for the last ten (10) years as maintained by the Department or by any other jurisdiction which has issued an operator's license to the applicant.
No person shall be issued a renewed commercial driver license until his or her driving record has been checked through the operator of the Commercial Driver License Information System in the time period set forth in section 1314.1 to determine the status of his or her commercial driving privileges in any other jurisdiction.
No person shall be issued a commercial driver license until his or her driving record, as maintained by the current jurisdiction of issuance, has been checked through the operator of the National Driver Register, and other information systems, in the time period set forth in subsection 1314.1, to check the status of his or her non-commercial driving privileges in any other jurisdiction. The information shall be considered in determining whether to issue a commercial driver license.
Within thirty (30) days after receiving a request from the operator of the Commercial Driver License Information System (CDLIS) or a driver licensing agency of another jurisdiction for records or other information related to an applicant or driver, the Department shall provide to CDLIS or the driver licensing agency of the other jurisdiction all requested records and information maintained by the Department that are related to the applicant or driver.
No later than ten (10) days after disqualifying a commercial driver license holder licensed by another jurisdiction, or revoking, suspending, or canceling the privilege of a commercial driver license holder licensed by another jurisdiction to operate a commercial motor vehicle in the District of Columbia, the Department shall notify the operator of the Commercial Driver License Information System and the jurisdiction that issued the license of the disqualification, revocation, suspension, or cancellation and the underlying violation that led to the disqualification, revocation, suspension, or cancellation.
If a person who holds a commercial driver license issued by another jurisdiction is convicted of a violation of a federal or District law or regulation relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation), in any type of vehicle, the Department shall notify the licensing entity in the jurisdiction where the driver is licensed of the conviction within ten (10) days after the conviction.
Whenever a person who does not hold a commercial driver license, but who is licensed to drive by another State, is convicted of a violation in a commercial motor vehicle of any law relating to motor vehicle traffic control (other than a parking violation), the Department shall notify the licensing entity in the State where the driver is licensed of this conviction as follows:
